Picture I Found on the Internet of MEEEE!!

[micorps]

Hey all i was on atvriders and was a link to race pics and came across this picture of me racing Rausch creek, this picture was taken after i hot the tree because i can see my front bumper alittle crooked. lol

[fox300exchic]

Nice! Looks like you had fun though.

[micorps]

Yeah it was but really should not have raced due to a wrist injury. After hurting for months i discovered that i fractured my wrist. It hurt like hell all race, but pull a 7th place.

[wheeler0801]

holy shmokes. so you raced w/a broken wrist?? that must have been tough....my husband hit a tree in last weeks race so hard it sprained his wrist...he was in so much pain, I can only imagine how you musta feltt..........props to you for finishing :)

[micorps]

Yeah it hurt so bad, i thought i just sprained it so thats why I did it. I would hit the rock sections and I couldnt hold onto the handlebars. but it is better now. when my wrist would get jarred it would just send sharp pain through my entire arm. I broke something I cant remember what the doc said.

[wheeler0801]

ouch! i hit a tree last fall really hard and jammed my wrist...i still feel it when i hit a tree now, or even bend it a certain way.....I need a stabalizer...any suggestions??

[micorps]

lol dont hit trees j/k my wrist still hurts so i wear a brace now, a steering stabilizer really only helps keep the bars straight or from jerking. I would recommend just getting a PEP or Denton stabilizer because they arent as expensive as the GPR, Elka, or Precision.

[wheeler0801]

yeah....thats what we were going to get....what about Streamline?? any info on them?? and I try my best not to hit trees but I railed one GOOD today practicing.........wedged myself between two trees....it took 3 of us to get me out hahahahahahaah

[micorps]

Ive never heard of the streamline, so i wouldnt be able to really give a opinion. I have a GPR on my banshee and a precision on my LTR. I heard the PEP and Denton are good for the price.

[wheeler0801]

is the gpr a pencil one?? or one like the precision...I'd love a precision...they just cost sooo damn much!!!

so this is a picture of ME I found

[Sc0tt]

Good pix. I would luv to try some GNCC but not on my LT250R.

[wheeler0801]

I've never done a GNCC...looking forward to Unadilla this fall :)

[micorps]

The GPR is like the precision except the CPR mounts on the top of the steering stem and has handlebar mounts built into it and allows you to make adjustments on the fly. Why you doing the unadilla when bncc goes to TN and KY, unless your talking MX. If you race GNCC you absolutely need good tires and wheels, everything else is nice to have. Full skids are a must too, I kept tearing mine of by breaking the welds until i bought the PRM skid.

[wheeler0801]

we're moving to NY in April, before the Loretta's GNCC comes here.....so we'll be going to Unadilla this year I'm soooo stoked

Just need to get the quad 100% ready...right now she's about 90%

[micorps]

Make sure you also get physically fit. Cardio endurance is just as important as muscular endurance. I work out 5 days a week and still am running on fumes when I finish. It is very dangerous racing 2 hours and not fit to do it. Also get used to going fast in very tight conditions. At Times i am scraping bark off trees. How wide is your quad, I would not recommend going any wider than 46-47". I would assess 25% is your quad and 75% is your conditioning and the rider.

[wheeler0801]

yeah, we've started working out at night after work.....one thing I hate is running. I do it and hate it the entire time I'm doing it

But I love lifting weights.....love it

[micorps]

I would recommend a IPOD with your favorite music, i am a natural runner but is easier with an ipod. also you need to have someone who will make you do it and run with you

[wheeler0801]

i've been running on the treadmill...its too cold at night here to run outside. soon enough we'll be outside though....have you ever raced w/an ipod?? one of my husband's friends does it, he loves it.

[micorps]

i dont personally like it, I noticed it distracts me to much which is why i use it for running. You need to concentrate to much racing.

[trailblazer_02]

i just need the sweet sound of a revving engine...

ahhhhh reeeeelaxing.

[wheeler0801]

hahahaah i knwo what you mean. i loveeeeeeeeeeeeee being on my 400....i ran last night. a whole 1.1 miles too. i'm super proud of me. i'm goign to run again right now. wish me luck:Angel_animc::willy_nillyc::bouncing_smiles:

[micorps]

Good luck, I wish i could ride. I havent rode in over a month and before that was the Rausch Creek race in July. The Army has me busy right now and couldnt ride since January when I returned from my last deployment because I couldnt risk getting hurt before warrant officer school next week.

[Sc0tt]

I am trying to get my bike back together. I want to go ride soooo bad!!!

[wheeler0801]

[micorps]

A undisclosed south american country

[wheeler0801]

[micorps]

[micorps]

I will be a lifer. I leave for warrant officer school next week and will be assigned to Ft Wainwright, AK near Fairbanks in a Infantry Stryker BDE. Should be interesting. I have been in the army for 7 years now.
